Ten years isn't THAT long. Especially since all the whiskey people are so deeply committed. Right? Right.

#3 Posted by ShockD (2186 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

That's like asking "Do you think the Internet will still exist in 10 years?".

#4 Posted by Hourai (2788 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yes, but it will be waaaay different by then. 

#5 Posted by gingertastic_10 (4140 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Who knows. World ends in 2012 right?

#6 Posted by DeathByWaffle (590 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

If it does, I would imagine some of the staff would probably be different

#7 Posted by iam3green (14380 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

yeah, it will still be here. i would think that there would be some changes to the website as the site gets older and new ideas come along.

#8 Posted by emem (1923 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yep, but the name will have changed to Gigantic Bomb.

#9 Posted by AnotherDuder (151 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago
@DeathByWaffle: Hopefully it would also be awesome ^^
 
Maybe it would be the interns :D

You mean Epic Bomb.
#11 Posted by FlipperDesert (1807 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Giant Bomb will still exist, yes. Though Cyborg Jeff will be the last of the original crew left after Ryan and Ryan 2 leave for New New York, Brad pulls a Brad and Vinny's completionism gets him stuck playing a game that never ends, WoW 2.

One hell of a typo if he did.
#13 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9065 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

By then, the bomb will explode.

#14 Posted by FluxWaveZ (17845 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Why wouldn't it?

#15 Posted by DrPockets000 (2859 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Probably.

#16 Posted by s7evn (1072 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I would imagine so, unless something terrible happens in the bay area. 

#17 Posted by TwoLines (2594 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yes.

I recently read an article stating that the calender was actually misread and that it should actually end in about 2050ish.
#19 Posted by Azteck (7329 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I really fucking hope so.

Either way, I think he was being sarcastic.
#21 Posted by Castiel (1887 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yeah I honestly think it does. 
 
Maybe even with a lot of the same people we know as the Giantbomb crew today. Maybe it will be a little different, but I hope that it will stick to the laid back, down to earth approach which is what I like so much about this site.

Actually I don't like the word "epic" at all, the guys from Blizzard used it about 97 billion times.. it kind of wore out.

If the staff is different, it wouldn't be Giant Bomb anymore regardless of the name.
#24 Posted by WalkerTR77 (1255 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I wanted to make a topic like this, you know, "what will giantbomb be like in the future? Seems like it cant last more than 20 years, at least not with the same crew.

#25 Posted by SPACETURTLE (1622 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I think the forums still will be up, but I doubt there will be any interesting content on the site any more then. Mostly cause I don't think the guys will stick around for so long.

#26 Posted by Skullo (646 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yes I think it will still exist in 10 years.

#27 Posted by Gabriel (4034 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

The only staff member I can see leaving is Vinny. 

#28 Posted by gakon (1938 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Did you think when Rich Gallup yelled "2007!" at the beginning of the first HotSpot of that year, that by the end of the year that host's right-hand man would have been fired under mostly unknown and mostly controversial circumstances? 
 
By which I mean, it's impossible to say.  I'd sure hope so, but it's hard to say where video games, technology, the Internet, or video game writing will be in 10 years.

That was really weird. I was listening to "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" and happened to read these words just as he sang them.

I read that the 'Doomsday Clock' had changed to October 28, 2012. Of course, it's probably all BS. I think Giant Bomb will still exist. If other sites with less appeal can survive, I do think Giant Bomb can as well. By that time though, I can imagine the site having expanded by a huge margin.
#31 Posted by ShaneDev (1696 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

It probably will be but I would think some of the original staff would have left or taken a back seat role by then but ten years isn't that long. I hope all the other WM sites are still around in ten years too.

#32 Posted by Jack_Daniels (1396 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yes, they community is here and it will be here. But Tested? I love tested and think its great, but... I can't see it surviving. How can it be profitable with so few users? On a side note, watch the friday special from the tested site. Its great, much smaller and no waiting to type.

#33 Posted by Guided_By_Tigers (8020 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Doubt it.

#34 Posted by Zimbo (874 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Hopefully it will be. I wonder how different it would be then. We would probably lose at least one of the crew :(

I wonder how many of us will still be visiting Giant Bomb in 10 years?

#35 Posted by ThePickle (3515 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Yes. Nothing can stop the Giant Bomb motherfucker. 

#36 Posted by JackSukeru (5145 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

GB will be the last thing to go for sure, even when it'll just be post-apocalyptic Jeff live streaming from his iPhone.

#38 Posted by chocolaterhinovampire (1115 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I sure hope so

#39 Posted by Bestostero (2755 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

maybe. lol

#40 Posted by 1p (759 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Impossible to say. Internet be unpredictable, yo.

This right here. But a few facts were left out. Snider ends up running Whiskey Media but because he's a habitual drunk ends up selling the whole venture to Drew for a bottle of whiskey. Drew just sits in his office all day with a smirk on his face.

Nooooo! You can't say that.
#43 Posted by SSValis (1136 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

nothing stays the same, but I would like to think so.

#44 Posted by iBurnsit (3 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I hope so, we need a place to go that is not beating to rhythm of the latest press release or slow leaking interview. ( I F'n hate reading and interview in ten parts over 2-3 days on other sites so they can get more clicks) STUPID LINK BAIT SUCKS.

#45 Posted by iAmJohn (5769 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Why do you care?

#46 Posted by Colin (708 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

Three words:  Endurance Run Motherfucker.

#47 Edited by FCKSNAP (2294 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I doubt even the internet will be around in ten years now that all the communication corporations want to start their own privatized and exclusive bandwidth allocations. 
 
Giantbomb will be on the BBS. Let's all call up Jeff's local router in 2020 and see what's up. 
 

#48 Posted by ajamafalous (10588 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I'd assume it'll keep going until Jeff and Ryan decide they don't want to any more.

#49 Posted by HitmanAgent47 (8577 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

No

#50 Posted by KingPossum (236 posts) - 2 years, 6 months ago

I might not exist in 10 years.
